Car full of comic books

Here's photo I took a couple of days ago, in the parking lot near Mirage Studios:

I filled up the back of my car with a pile of boxes of comics from my personal stash of Turtle stuff. It's part of an effort by me to trim down a somewhat bloated collection. Actually, this pile has been waiting for almost two years to get stuffed in my car and brought down to Mirage. (I think my next effort will be to winnow down my collection of TMNT toys, but that won't be for at least several months... unless I am suddenly filled with an unexpected burst of energy.)

Soon, Katie and Dan should be going through all these and cataloguing what's there so we can offer them for sale. In fact, maybe they've already done it! -- PL

Hi Mr. Laird, I was wondering if this one shot character in the original cartoon was meant to be Fugitoid before it got blocked. If any robot looks anything like him in the cartoon itself its this one.http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/0121-493x375.jpg

Also, at the SDCC it was revealed the IDW turtles will retreat to the farmhouse in Northampton this Fall. Any chance we could see you as a citizen? What any easter egg that would be! :D

I'm not sure what you mean by "before it got blocked", but I have no idea if someone working for Fred Wolf meant that robot to be some version of Fugitoid. It seems unlikely to me, but due to the fact that Kevin and I had little to do with most of the episodes of that show, it's impossible for me to say definitively one way or the other.

I don't know if I will show up as a resident of Northampton in the IDW books, as I have nothing to do with that ongoing series. -- PL

Hey Peter!Cannot wait to see what treasures are hidden in those boxes! I've been collecting TMNT stuff for years. Growing up in North Adams, you are the hometown hero. I was hoping you would attend SDCC this year, so I could meet you, get your autograph; etc. I live in CA now, so hopefully you will make some appearances out here soon. J. Perras

Some time ago -- maybe a month or two -- Kevin mentioned to me that there was some interest from the director in both of us doing cameos in the new movie. For several reasons, I declined to get involved in that way. But if Kevin is going ahead with it, I hope it turns out to be fun for him. -- PL

Hiya Peter,I'm just curious but is there going to be any turtle-verse mayhem going on. It's been hinted at a crossover with the 80's turtles and the new ones but are the mirage turtles gonna be back in action any time soon?MS =^-^=
